Quick question as I'm putting stuff back together with this Hammer shifter...
The console was just short of a nightmare to get back on over top of the shifter -- and yes, I did take the handle and trigger off. Now that it's back on there, the very front of the shifter pushes up on the front section of the shifter section of the console. I can take pics if need be, but I'm hoping if you have done this you know what I mean. This section is sometimes cutout when installing a 5-speed shifter for more access to bolts, but I'm wondering if I trim this if it will sit flat. My rough measurements and eyeballing looks like trimming the edge would be perfect as well as being unnoticible.
I did test fit things back together and it looks like it won't be a big deal and may not be noticible as is, but I'd like it to sit the way it's supposed to if I can. The instructions have been pretty good so far, but no mention of cuting the console that I saw. I suppose if this is the worst part of it, it has been pretty good so far -- just a poor section of the design or instructions it seems like.
